  about a few days ago i went to hand in my final paper at a university in manhattan.

  i won't go into details about the school because i want to keep it to a certain extent personal.

  there is this professor that is 38years old but he looks like he is 26 years old.

  There is this movie with Kevin Spacey who is a college professor and who sleeps with a student-"Life of David Gray" or something. First watch that movie for some good ideas and I think you will know what to do. I was asking around my school about professors and students hooking up-seems like the situation regulary occurs. Now at my school, the professor would be left go but every university is somewhat different and in fact some schools even have guidelines, you know, don't be having sex with a student who is actively taking your class but beyond that, anything goes.

  I say if you can get a good grade, go for it, why not-you are in college. However, I know a lot of girls who do better their grade just because of their looks which ultimately affects some professors to be more generous to them without even putting out. I guess it's all how you approach it.

  Just when I think, ah, this will be the last time I visit this sight, I get pulled back in. This sight has helped me a great deal and with my life growing up in the terrible JW cult and that I'm not alone in my effort to get back to normacy. Also, sadly this sight has also made me realize that I have gotten out in tact with only 21 years wasted, I'm now 24, and that many more people on this board have suffered far worse than me at the hands of the WT org.

  I'm pretty much about as healed as I'm going to be, the scar is still very much there, I've accepted how I was raised and I have been able to move on. However, there is still the constant battle because my parents are still very much active dubs, thus the war goes on. I also look forward to the many years ahead see all JW prohecy to be completly proven false, the logical end is just around the corner, that's what I tell my parents.

  just curious (man i must be bored!)..

  anyone have "floaters" in your eyes?

  those stringy little splotches that float across your field of vision.

  I have a floater and mostly see it in bright sunlight when I'm not focusing on anything. I asked my eye doctor because I'm a bit of a hypocondriac and she said that the floater is formed within your pupil as you are growing inside the womb. It's just a flaw and many people have them, nothing can be done yet to fix so live with it. Then again, you may want to get your own professional opinion.

  Elder Gives Talk About "Unbelievers" & "Unbeliever" Calls Him An "Asshole"

  by minimus in

  the husband of a sister attended the public talk and the visiting elder came down hard on "unbelievers" and "worldly" people.

  he spoke about how miserable it is for faithful sisters to be married to such "worldly unbelievers" because they cannot share the same spiritual goals.

  this man recently had started to attend some meetings because his wife pretty much begged him to.

  There were several "worldy" ones there. I heard one lady say "10 mintues devoted to her, 30 minutes devoted to their religion. Did that seem weird to you?"

  How sad, even in death, dubs are still sacrificing their time to the WT, could that 20 minutes be added to your time slip posthumously?

  but basically the point was that convention time is the best way for the WTBTS to advertise its product.

  Yes, it probably is because of the concentration of so many JW's but it seems as if the WT bungles their opportunity. You may have 20 thousand dubs in Philly but they all stick to themselves for the most part. They have to get up early, get some free hotel breakfast food, maybe an extra bagel for lunch as well, shuffle to the convention, lot leave the stadium during lunch, and then back to the hotel maybe with a stop off for something to eat maybe. The process seems so isolating. To me it's like taking a field trip yet not seeing anything. Here they have the power of some mostly 20 thousand good willed people, yet the WT throws it away because they are afraid if you interact with the community, bad things might happen.

  Perhaps, you could say that you are th King of the North and that you have an army to lead. Then they just might thing you are crazy and leave you alone.

  Strange, I never pictured myself in paradise, I always thought of others enjoying it such as my dead friend who I thought would be resurrected. Sure I had vague ideas but nothing concrete, maybe take over one of those really nice houses I saw out in service. Who knows, the simple days are gone now but I must say I'm happier that way, free choice.

  I always liked the saying Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

  i have been sick and tired of not doing anything about the constant lies i get from the wt organization on various issues such as the u.n. no one from my parents to brooklyn can give me a straight answer on anything.

  so, yesterday, i decided to take a different approach.

  i live near a kh that actually has a apartment built on to the side of it for the co who serves all of the kh's in my area including my old hall that is over an hour away from where i currently live.

  Thank you for all of your support. I just feel that I must say something now or it will eat at me forever. They must know they are in the wrong or at least that something is amiss in their belief structure. Since this CO serves my parents congregation, I'm thinking about saying that he must address my questions the next time that he visits their KH or else....

  "Mother's Day Sucks"

  by xjw_b12 in

  2. friends

  so say mothers.. cj and i were talking last week about mother's day and i felt she was dreading it.

  the reason given was in order for us husbands and children to feel like we were giving mom a break on sunday, moms had to work extra hard on saturday to get all the regular work done, so mom could appear to relax on sunday.

  i conducted an informal poll with other women and got the same replies.. so i issue this as a challenge to you husbands and children of the woman you love.

  You know, I was thinking about sending my JW mom something for mother's day just to see her reaction. I honestly have no idea how she would respond, who knows, she may accept my gift.

  So be it I get DF'd, I have tried everything else and at this point, it may be the only thing that wakes my parents up. Although, I must say so far I have done a lot of apostisizing in the last year with no affect. At this point, I feel invincible. Plus, I must mention that I do have "dirt" on the presiding elder in my old KH, so let them bring it on.
